Opposed to Large Shipments of Vege-
tables-Other Matters of Interest.
TAvAREs, FLA, May 13.-Quite an ex-
element was created in town to-day upon
the receipt of a telegram from Hon. George
II. Browne, one of the Representatives from
Orange county, in the Legislature, saying
that a bill had been pushed through the
Senate creating the county of Lake, to be
composed of all that portion of Sumter
county east of range line, dividing ranges
% and "A, and embracing the small portion
OF Orange county in ranges % and rs south
of Marion county. This would include
within the boundaries of the new county all
of the towns of Tavares and Fort Mason
and divide the towns of Eustis, Umatilla
and Glendale. a mass meeting of the citi-
zens of Tarvares and that portion of the
Eighteenth election precinct adjacent there
TO was held at St. Clair-AbramS Hall this
afternoon.
The following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, We learn that a bill is before the
Legislature. and has already passed the Senate,
creating and establishing the county of Lake,
which includes within its territorial limits the
town of TavareS and the Eighteenth election
precinct
Resolued, That voters and citizens of the town
of Tavares and the Eighteenth election precinct,
against the passage of said bill.
The quantity Of vegetables shipped from
around here this year is nearly so per cent.
greater than that up to the same time last
year. Watermelons are Just beginning to
come in. Strawberries are freely offered at
from &c. to &C. per quart, and large quanti-
ties have been canned in consequence OF low
price.
A report was circulated a few DAYS ago
%hot tha Tav-o,,r nrlan,,a
road had purchased that portion of the
Florida Railway and Navigation road
known as the Indian river branch, running
from Tavares to Wildwood, but the rllmor
cannot be verified from official sources. 1t
Is quite possible when the Florida Railway
and Navigation main line is completed and
trains run regularly to Plant City the
Tavares, Orlando and Apopka railroad may
perform the service to Wildwood
The work Of filling in the space between
the tracks of the Florida Railway and Navi-
cation and the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railroad, on which the union de
pot is to be built, is nearly done, and if the
gravel train is spared us few days longer
the job will be complete. The Florida Rail-
way and Navigation Company have ar
ranged for a new ticket office in the post
Office and appointed s. B. Harrington ticket
agent. The new Office will be a neat and
tasty affair, rejecting credit alike on the
road and the newly appointed agent who is

Recent changes in the mail schedules,

not added to that of surrounding towns, and
in order to give Eustis anything like ade-
quate mail facilities a special exchange of

effect of being located near a ''cross roads"

Catching seals for their skins off the
coast of Alaska is not half rs profitable am
investment as most people suppose. The
fact that the present lease of the Alaska
Commercial Company will expire in 1890 is
attracting the attention of capitalists. The
terms of the present lease permit the COM
pany to kill 100000 seals year, paving into
the Treasury of the United States 50 for
each skin. Probably the conditions Of the
next lease, should Congress authorize
another, would not differ materially
from tlRse of the present one. The Alaska
Commercial Company wants its franchise
renewed and would probably bid rs high as
anybody else. This company was organized
and has always been controlled by some
German fur dealers in San Francisco. For
the first few years after the lease YVES pro-
cured the expenses of establishing the plant
and marketing the skins ate up all the avail
able funds, so nothing was left for divi-
dends. But before the first five years
expired the dividends had begun
and they have continued ever since.
AT times they have amounted to % per cent.
per annum on the capital stock. The bust
ness is profitable, but it is not the gold mine
most people suppose. The skins are all sold
and all delivered in the great warehouse in
London, where for $50 years the frrs of
American animals have been sold-the
former headquarters of the old Hudson Bay
collected and counted by the agents of the
company and the inspectors of the govern
ment in Alaska to see that there are Just
100000, no more, no less, they are packed in
a steamer 400 feet long by 40 wide, and
taken down to San Francisco Here they are
placed on a special train, after being again
counted by the cOmpany's agent and the
customs officers, and are carried across the
continent to New York From New York
they are shipped direct to London, where
they are sold at the semi-annual fur sales,
which immemorial custom has fixed for the
spring and fall of each year But it is not
enough that the skins should be brought to
London to be sold. The Alaska Commercial
Company must create a market for them,
and this it does with well-directed effort. II
has the ear of Dame Fashion. BY every
means that money can command it spreads
all over the world the idea that life without
a sealslzin is almost as stale fat and I'M
profitable for woman as life without a
husband 1t makes new fashions: it circu-
lates them. 1t keeps up a continual discus
sion in the newspapers about sealskins, and
in hundred other ways, by dint of hard
work, shrewdness and good Judgment
works up market. The Commercial Com
pany makes money, but as a matter of fact
the wealth of this company has been greatly
exaggerated.

A SERIOUS ROW.
Seven Wounds Inflicted and Five Men
Hurt.
From "a Valdosta Ca TYnles.


From the Valdosta (Ga) Times.
For several years, we understand, there
has been bad feeling between the Boyds and
Swillys, living in the neighborhood across
Mud Swamp, five or six miles southeast of
Valdosta. On several occasions before they
came very near to a serious conflict, but it
did not open up in earnest until last Satur-
day. The parties to the fight were
in town during the day, and w.
W. and B. w. Boyd, brothers, left
first for home. Soon after Sam and Doc
Swiftly, accompanied by William Boring
and Sam Fletcher, also started for their
respective homes. They had to travel the
same road until they crossed the swamp,
and just on the other side, near Mr.. Nc
Leod's field the Swillys overlook the Boyds.
The air is full of runners, and each side
gives its version of the affair. The grand
jury next week will doubtless investigate
the trouble, and therefore we deem it best
here and now to omit any and all versions
of the acts and movements which brought
on the fight, more than outlined
meagerly above. 1t is sufficient for
us to record the fact that
when the Swillys overlook the Boyds the
fight opened, and in lively manner as the
result shows. Pistols and knives were used
freely, until every man in the row fell from
loss of blood, except Mr.. Fletcher, who, it
seems, kept out of the fight b. W. Boyd
was shot through both thighs and w. w.
Boyd was shot through one. Sam Swilly
was shot in the side of the left breast. the
ball ranging in front of the lungs and lodg-
ing under the breast bone. William Boring
was shot in the chin, the ball fracturing the
jaw bone and lodging in the neck Doc
Swilly was cpt twice about the back and
shoulder.
Behring'S and Swillys wounds were the
most serious, but yesterday they were doing
well, and will most likely recover. Doc
Swiftly and the Boyd boys are not seriously
hurt
1t was bloody row; and might have
proved much more serious.
The actors i'll the ARRAY are all young
men, and the difficulty is deeply regretted
by their parents and neighbois.

MOUNT HOLLY AGAIN AROUSED.
Wants to Lynch a Negro Charged With
Betraying Young Lady.

Wants to Lynch Negro Charged With
Betraying Young Lady.
From the Ne,o York Herald
Great excitement prevailed Thursday at
Mount Holly, N. j., upon the announcement
that Mrs. Isaiah Sever had sworn out COM
plant for the arrest of William H. Sutton,
a colored barber of the town, for betraying
her granddaughter, Miss Annie Sever,
young lady not yet 20 years of age.
Sutton was arrested soon afterward at his
barber shop and lodged in Jail, amid the
'greatest excitement and cries of Lynch
himn
While at the Sever house one day upon
some errand, Sutton made known his desire
to learn how to play on the piano.
eff you would like to learn l will teach
you," said Miss Sever.
The remark was a complete surprise to
Sutton, but he at once accepted, and the
next day, at her request, presented himself
at the house for his first lesson. Col.
George F. Sever, the girls father, was away
from home at the time, and did not learn of
SuttOn'S visits to the house until some time
afterward. Then he demanded an explana-
ton from his daughter. She said she didn't
thing there was anything wrong in teach
ing colored man music. She had spent
good deal of time and money upon herself
in completing her musical education, and
she saw no reason why she should not make
use of it to some practical purpose. Sutton
had more than ordinary ability, she argued,
and his musical tastes should be encoLr-
aged.
This explanation seemed to satisfy the
father for the time being, and he made no
further allusion TO the subject until I'M
pleasant stories reached his ears in regard
to his daughter having been seen walking in
unfrequented streets with Sutton after night
fall, engaged in very confidential chat.
Hastily sunmoning his daughter to his pres
ence, he demanded to know if the stories he
had heard were true. She replied that she
had taken walks with Sutton, but saw no
especial harm in that. He was intelligent
and very respectful.
But the old man would hear no more, and
gave his daughter, whom he loved dearly,
five minutes to make up her mind whether
she would drop Suttons acquaintance at
once or else leave her fathers house.
Hesitating a moment, she walked up to
her father, kissed him on the forehead and
walked from the house without saying a
word
The next day Col. Sever packed his house
hold goods, closed the house and left for a
trip South, saying he would probably never
return.
After his departure the erring girl re-
moved to Centretown, near the Rancocas
creek, where she took board with family
of her acquaintances, and while there was
visited several times by Sutton.
Her grandmother, who lives in Mount
Holly, heard rumors which caused her. TO
have Sutton arrested on the charge of be
travail
The case is one of the strangest ever
known in this part of the State. The girl
had plenty Of suitors for her hand. and was
generally admired.
